Detailed explanation-1: -Sargon’s empire reached westward as far as the Mediterranean Sea and perhaps Cyprus (Kaptara); northward as far as the mountains; eastward over Elam; and as far south as Magan (Oman)-a region over which he purportedly reigned for 56 years, though only four “year-names” survive.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sargon maintained his empire by strategically placing men he trusted into each conquered city or region. He garrisoned troops and put his people into positions of power. He appointed his daughter, Enheduanna as high priestess of Inanna in Ur, where she influenced religious and political affairs for the next 40 years.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sargon died in 705 BCE in a battle in Tabal, in southeast Anatolia. The enemy army seized the Assyrian camp and the king’s body was never found. As a result, he did not receive a proper burial in his palace at Khorsabad, which was considered a curse in Mesopotamia.
